It is optional to visit one of the fossil extractors firms after you arrive in the city before heading to the Merzouga desert.
The Moroccan Sahara (Rissani) was said to have been the bottom of a huge ancient ocean during the Paleozoic Era, some 380 million years ago. With other words, outside of Erfoud, there are vast swaths of terrain covered in undiscovered fossils.
Ammonites, goniatites, and a variety of other fossils may be found at the corporate headquarters.
